Now what I want for Live 2010 is this move by Kobe (follow the link, then click on his pull-up jumper move):
http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikebas...er=kobe_bryant

It's just a simple pull-up jumper from a hard dribble. The thing is though, it is not a straight-up jumper, and it's not a strong fade also - he sort of fades a little bit, with a small leg extension. In Live, you can do a straight-up jumper and an exaggerated fade (with the high leg kick) from a hard dribble, but not a soft fade such as this. Hopefully in 2010 we can choose to perform a hard or soft fade.
2 things I immediately noticed with Live 09's Kobe signature shot.

1. he jumps way too high (as compared to his real life shooting form)

2. he has a slight 'hitch' (which he does not have in real life).

The former probably bothers me more than the latter because it completely changes/ruins the signature shot. Having played the NBA 09 demo a bunch of times....they probably did a better job of getting Kobe's sig down more accurately than EA (and they probably don't even have player "signature shots" incorporated in their game, LOL).
